First of all thanks for dropping by.
We received some much-needed rain on Tuesday. According to our rain gauge we got 3.25 inches. It won’t be enough to end the drought we’ve been in but it will sure help. The lake was getting pretty low.
The rains in Ukraine will be slowing the war down. Is that good or bad? Their incredible soldiers can use a rest. Those of us with roofs should really appreciate them.
Agnosco diem.
The Putin wings
As I have mentioned previously in “A time such as this,” “the call” and “Nuclear winter” we are already engaged in World War 3.
There has been a lot of talk of the Putin wing of the Trump Republican party. Justifiably so. Well, not to be outdone, the Democrats also have a Putin wing. The “progressives” of the Democratic party wanted President Biden to start negotiating directly with the Russians over Ukraine.[1] (They have since reversed their position.[2]) The damage has already been done. BTW Putin only negotiates if he wins.
I can’t begin to express how outrageous this is. It would have been like England negotiating directly with Hitler over the fate of France during WWII and not including France. Putin, like Hitler, started this WAR. Calling it anything else buys into his “Special Military Operation” garbage.
I bring up Hitler because prior to our entry into WWII there were Nazi sympathizers along with isolationists and appeasers that thought we should stay out of the war in Europe.[3] Fortunately, they weren’t successful, or we’d all be speaking Nazi now. Eventually it became obvious to the majority of people that Hitler had no intention of stopping his aggression against other nations. The people of the United States of America became focused on achieving one objective.
Defeating evil.
Crossing lines
Men like Putin give no thought to the hundreds of thousands of lives that they destroy and the millions of people that they force undeserved hardship upon. There are too many Putins and Kim Jong Uns in the world. There are too many like Trump that admire their works and envy their power. Trump loves him some dictators.[4] His comments about his love affair with Kim Jong Un are disgusting as well as flat out creepy.[5]
Ukraine is bearing the brunt of Putin’s war. They stopped him. They have and are paying an incredible price for defending their homeland. Their courage and accomplishments are inspiration to freedom-loving people everywhere.
Just as we joined with our allies in WWII in standing up to Hitler we should stand up to Putin as well. NATO is holding strong. Sending them military equipment and humanitarian aid is the least we can do. The Trump Republicans and right-wing media are all in a fabricated dither worrying about our dwindling military stockpiles.[6] Are Canada or Mexico getting ready to attack us?
The Biden administration is worried about crossing lines and escalating the war. Putin suffers from no such constraints and continually escalates. If he succeeds in conquering Ukraine will they still be worried about escalation when he goes after the next country? A blackmailer never stops.
Evil doesn’t recognize lines.
Tied up
Ukraine has an incredible army of men and women on the field. They prove daily what they are capable of accomplishing. Give them what they need to win! We need to send Ukraine EVERYTHING! Send them planes! Send them tanks! Send them long range weapons! We either want them to win or we don’t. It serves the interests of maintaining a world free of dictators and wannabe dictators. It serves our interests.
I’m going to finish up with the words of a Ukrainian soldier:
“If Hitler had been stopped in Poland or Czechoslovakia, there would have been no France, Britain, Africa, the USSR, millions of victims, etc. Now we stop the crazy dictator at the very beginning.
So, help us defeat him.”[7]
